THE HOMS JOURNAL: Ǥ fiY CONTRACT.

Oficiftl Organ of Houston Ctounty,
An enterprising citizen of South
| Georgia is undertaking to help the
farmers and himself .also by apply*

bfe unable to agreo to whom the
greatest praise should be given.
Each of the larger nations is
convinced that all the other nations,,
should disarm to a necessary ba
sis. All that is nfecessary to make
the conference a success is for the
delegates from all the nation to
reach an honest agreement.
O —-
Thk number 61 self-sustaining
farmers in Georgia will be largely
increased next - year. To bring
that about, the same number of
farmers must first personally be
come self-sustaining.,
A “one-horse” Houston county
farmer told this writer one day last
week that he does not know any
thing about hard times now. He
said that lie knew hard times some
years ago, but that he now^lhiikes
his living on his farm and -i% not
in debt, because that he quit buy..,
ing farm products. Ho produces
these things on his own farm.
Since the alleged c'onle^bn M
Fairfield, the leading e^anmloyee
of the A; B. & A. Railroad v engag*
ed in plots against that road, it is
becoming more and more , certain
that the number of convicts iu sev
eral. counties along the line of the
A. B. & A will be considerably in
creased. Since last July 5#|j- two
engineers on that line havfc been
killed, and several freight train
wrecks have been caused by dyna
mite. It now*seems certain that
all the leaders in the plots against
that railroad will be apprehended
and convicted.
- — o---- ; ■
Senator Borah of Idaho, is
more responsible than any other
republican for the adoption of the
plan for holding an international
conference at Washington for the
discussion of the. disarmament of
nations- Therefore, it is passing
strange that Senator . Borah was
not appointed a delegate to t he
conference. It is not a guess that
the ignoring of the Idaho Senator
was deliberate, because the asso
ciated lending republican senators
knew tney could not control him.
He wants genuine disarmament.
VOLUNTEER TOMATOES.
Through an experiment the Post
master at, the Perry postoffice pro
duced a crop-of to;matoes nnderun-
... usual cireumstancbs
A lot of tomato plants-came, up
from seed thrown .on the -ground
dir'ctly rear’® the po'itoflice. . ' t.
Fiveofitliege plants were trans
planted early in June,, and. three
allowed to grow where they ger
minated.
From these. 8 plants, 1G8 toma
toes were gathered and eaten.
These ripened from August 20th
to October 5th.
There: was no cultivation of theso
plants, other than keeping the
ground free of grass, and plentiful
working each afternoon from June
to August.
The land on which this crop
grew was close to a brick wall on
the west side No sunshine touch
ed these plants except from sun
rise to 2p. m- Most of these to
matoes were from small to medium
bat all were crisp and of good
flavor.
This explodes the theory that all
tojnatoes of volunteer growth ore
exceedingly small.
No. 2. Under that arrangement
tbe farmer of course would have to
grade the potatoes. Otherwise the
entire output is paid for on the ba
sis that they are No. 2.
The foregoing project has many
advantages which ought to help the
farmers of that section, and which
could be put into practice right
herejn Houston county. In the
first place it takes the uncertanity
out of the marketing of the crop.
The farmer knows at the very be
ginning of-the season that he will
be able to get forty or forty-five
cents a bushel 1 for all the potatoes
he grows, according to the grade.
The man, who agrees to buy them
lias already established relations
with buyers in distant markets who
have contracted to buy his entire
shipments.
But in addition to the certanity
of a, market, the farmer is given
an incentive to cultivate his pota
toes ^and.to grade them when they
are harvested. It is hardly neces
sary to say that the lack of atten*
tent ion to this detail in regard to
mapy of our Georgia crops is de
plorable and that if these products
were properly graded and packed
-they would bring a great deal more
in the market. Of eourse under
theproeess just outlined the far-
met oauMump his whole potato
crop intft'A’^Wagoii tend carry, it to
the purchaser, but in f that case he
would get only forty cents a bush
el, whereas, if he assorted them,
ho would get seventy-five cents a
bushel for all the No 1 grade.
One. of the selling points of the
proposition is that the potatoes are
packed in bushel crates. This is
a greater advantage over the old
method of marketing them in bulk
A relatively small and attractive
container goes a long way towards
making a commodity look appe*
tizing. This is one of the reasons
why the sweet potato is gradually
coming into its own among the
people who heretofore have not
known of its real merits. There
are tremendous possibilities, and
tbe field has hardly been opened
up. The sweet potato can be serv
ed in dozens of ways and be deli
cious. There seems to be no limit
to the uses for the by-produet, or,
more strictly speaking,of the sweet
potato other than for food.
The day will come when the
sweet potato will be recognized for
its true value around the world.
I t simply needs a li tlo -exploiting
until the public outside of the
South learns its.true value. An
other important factor is that,
methods have, now been perfected
for curing .the sweet potato, so
that the marketing sea-oh fin ex
tend;'over -an indefinite period
The main point we have iu miud
is that sweet potatoes can. be
grown right here in Houston coun
ty as well as anywhere else in Ceor
gia, and there is no reason why
some enterprising eiitizel should-
not establish tljp co-operative cye-
tem which we on!-lined in' the be
ginning of this article! There* was
never,a .time when the Georgia far
mer was more in need of practical
and intelligent. ivsis:anCe, tind the
best aid we can give him, is to .help
him help himself. 1

IN MEMORIUM
On the morning of October,
6th, 1921, the death angel crept
silently into the home of Mr and
MrsJ. W, Sullivan and gently
bore away the precious spirit of
thoir dear little Josephine to her
Eternal home where sorrows can
never reach her. We know she is
happy there to await us in tbe
resurrection morn. We cannot
wish her back in this old world to
suffer but rather rejoice she is at
rest.
It seems impossible to think of
her being gone foreve J . It seems
as if she is away only for a short
time. Though she is asleep never
to awake!
We know dear little Josephine
isatrest in a brighter land than
we. And we hope at the end we
shall be ready to go as she was.
for she passed away just like
going to sleep. •
'.Its hard indeed to give her up
biit God above, knew•■bust. Thy
Kingdom come Thy will be done
for .ii j>v she is at rest.
